I understand many people here have experience with low carb, even I have had blood sugar and other markers improved. I don't deny it neither I am saying that high carb would work for everyone. But my experience with low carb/high fat/high protien wasn't that great either.
I dropped so much weight that i nearly disappeared even when i was eating food amount of protien and fat. I was loosing muscle which is not good. I got some problem with pains in neck during exertions which was scary. I had to get checked with various cardiologist. It has resolved since going vegan/vegetarian.
Another reason is that in high fat diet sugars will always be consistent, but as soon as carbs are eaten my body would never handle it well.
I should clarify here that by high carb i don't mean eating flours, rice and potatoes. I myself eat beans, lentils, some low GI fruits, lots of green veggies and nuts and some yogurt sometimes.
I don't add oil in cooking and even on high carb diet I do IF.
Why I post about calories is because calories matter. Even on high fat diet you would do great till you don't gain weight. If you start gaining weight you blood sugars will creep up. Please look into this if you think calories doesn't matter.
High fat diet mask insulin resistance because you don't eat any carbs to show if you are still resistant or reversed. We develop diabetes or insulin resistance when we eat more then our body can store. Excess carbs convert to fat that's why high carb is shown as a problem, but when we eat fat we directly store fat and have more free fats flowing around.
Anyway i am still researching and others as well. Noone knows what is exact mechanism which cause diabetes and how to reverse it truly. I just wanted to share my experience with OP.
I appreciate you sharing your experience.
I've tested with food, now that I have a monitor.
After the lchf meals, my BG doesn't go up, or very little. I mean meals with less than 10g carbs.
Yesterday I had a spike up to 128.5 mg/dL after eating bad, high carb cheesecake with 46 g.
My BG between meals and upon waking up is low 90s, high 80s.
I don't know what to make of it, but what I do understand is that high BG like that is bad for us and it seems that if I avoid high carbs, I'll be below 100 mg/dL.
It's too soon to really conclude on anything, because I'm new to measuring BG and need to see if it's really a rule, instead of a particular bad day/good day thing.
I also understood you're talking about good carb foods, like lentils and oats, not bad carb food like a cake. I understood.
In a few meals, I'll try lentils and see how my BG reacts.
But I must say my body seems to agree with lchf. I've noticed improvements in other areas.
Perhaps I need a balance. Because before, my fat intake was very low and we need fats.
But I'm decided that the starting point will be lchf. Then I'll try a little higher carb foods and see what. Like a little lentil dish, if my body can deal with the carbs.
Yesterday, I went back to the gym and people noticed I had lost weight. They think I lost a lot of weight. I haven't! I found it interesting. Looking at myself in the mirror, I've seen what they saw. I looked slimmer. I can't explain. I lost only 1 kg (about 2 pounds).
I can still lose weight, because my BMI was above 23. I have to check where it is today, in view of the mirror thing. But I'll watch it to avoid going unhealthy thin.
Thank you for sharing!
